About Deidra-Ann
Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and parenting challenges. She speaks English and brings 12 years of experience to sessions. Her work often centers on people carrying heavy responsibilities who want practical change and clearer boundaries.
She combines honest reflection with down-to-earth guidance. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm, address unresolved grief, and repair communication problems. Deidra-Ann uses methods drawn from attachment work, cognitive behavioral tools, and emotion-focused techniques to help clients understand patterns and try new ways of relating.
Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and supportive. Conversations are meant to be practical and focused on steps that can fit into a busy life. She helps clients name difficult feelings and practice different responses in everyday situations.
Deidra-Ann has experience with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating difficulties, bipolar and ADHD challenges, and a wide range of family-related problems. She also addresses topics like codependency, infidelity, blended family issues, and forgiveness. Sessions are offered in multiple online formats and accept international clients.
Prospective clients in Texas can expect a therapist who balances faith-informed perspective with clinical approaches, aiming to build clarity, resilience, and forward movement.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and distance and try new ways of connecting when old patterns cause pain. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering listening and acceptance so clients can find their own solutions and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with technology. These options make it possible to continue work between sessions and to use brief check-ins when helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt tools from the described approaches to work through relationship issues, stress, grief, and other concerns in these online formats.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
